...retrospect, it seems that discussion of the "Core" was hindered from the start by an important though not surprising flaw. The specific problems of Harvard undergraduate education were not clearly distinguished from a) problems of American society and American education as a whole and b) philosophical questions of the role of education. While the latter questions and problems are of interest to the national newsmagazine editor desperate to find a few hundred interesting words to insert between the liquor ads, they cannot be solved by the Harvard Faculty and should not be addressed by its members collectively.

...even now, little is known of Biko's place in South African history, of the role he played in the struggle for the liberation of the African majority. Woods's Biko, written immediately after Biko's death while Woods himself was prohibited from writing, is the first widely-circulated attempt to answer these questions.

You have to forgive the fact that, early on, the movie simply becomes a vehicle for the trotting-out of Sylvester Stallone in his first post-Rocky role (apart from his Mussolini imitation at the Academy Awards). Here, Stallone, cast as the street-tough union organizer for the so-called "Federation of Interstate Truckers," hardly throws a single punch during the entire proceedings (all right, so he does bludgeon someone to death with an axe handle...
Speaking before a crowd of 250 at Longfellow Hall, Levinson said that in a recent study he has found mentors--teachers, older friends, or authority figures--play an important role in helping young men to realize their dreams of themselves...
